Jung Woo Sung is facing a public storm when the news that he has a child with model Moon Gabi was made public. The actor declared that he will do his best to fulfill his responsibility as a father, but did not mention marrying Moon Gabi.
Other information said that Jung Woo Sung currently has a non-celebrity girlfriend, they have been dating for over a year. Ten Asia noted that Jung Woo Sung's girlfriend does not know about Moon Gabi and that he has a child with the female model.
